While going through some photos taken at Odiham on the 10th August I noticed this in the background, the wording looks like it has been there many years, painted over and now showing again:
P9374 is now the oldest airworthy Spitfire - look forwards to seeing her tomorrow at Duxford. It is my understanding that the aircraft was lost on a Calais beach on 24 May 1940 with the pilot becoming a POW. It appears the aircraft remained on the beach until the 1980's when it was recovered and restored.
